How much did painting that mech add to the cost of the Lance?Its on the Catalyst webstore for the same price as the packs with a jumping mech, and the same price as the MSRP for the Lance packs from the Mercenaries Kickstarter.

Do we know the Horses' Watch doesn't extend outside of their territory? That would seem to be kind of silly, especially given that the Blackout would give every faction even more of a reason to keep an eye on their neighbors. And even with the Blackout, I highly doubt that the Horses are completely unaware of the Bears' internal issues, given how widespread they were throughout the Dominion.

This is a good point.
For me, BOTH are important.
I want a good record sheet that makes sense and gives the mechs some interesting strengths and weaknesses, but I also LOVE it when the artist nails the design and comes up with a beautiful mech.
Likewise, I find some mechs to be almost unbearably hideous to look at. The original Kintaro art, for example is just AWFUL.
Duane Loose's art can sometimes be hit or miss (like the goofy legs on the Stalker). But he came up with a lot of really solid designs that have stood the test of time pretty well, and they're often very recognizable (even after the modern facelift), because his design elements were so good to begin with.
A lot of the artists who came after Duane delivered some of the most hideous mechs in the game, and most of the mechs from that timeframe look inferior to the 3025 mechs in my opinion (even if some of them are still cool).
No no no no no
If your going to use a Stinger/Wasp engine, you just gotta make it a DC Produced "Mini-Panther" at 30 Tons & same 4-6-4 Movement
You know, so they can both have "Mini-me's" running around.
